A stealthy, minimalistic, custom build of Firefox for web scraping 🦊
Camoufox is an open source anti-detect browser for robust fingerprint injection & anti-bot evasion.

I saw this browser on GitHub. Can it be used on a daily basis? How does it compare to Mullvad Browser or Librewolf?

Do you understand what scraping is? This is not a browser for everyday use.

Oh, I've heard a little about that, but I haven't looked into it in depth. Thanks for the explanation!
